A 5-yard self-dumping hopper is a large-scale device that can transport just about any material with ease. Our original models at Roura Material Handling are the strongest in the industry, and can be custom-designed based on your specific requirements. Read on to learn more about our hoppers and how they can help your business.
What Are Self-Dumping Hoppers?
Roura invented the self-dumping hopper, which, as previously mentioned, is a large container that can transport all types of bulk materials. Both our standard and custom models are made with 10- to 12-gauge steel, and feature 4,000- to 10,000-pound and 5 to 10-cubic yard volume capabilities.
